This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The process of recognizing and identifying a familiar person represents a basis activity of daily social interaction. Current viewpoints suggest that a sequence of distinct and interactive cognitive operations underlie this process, whch we refer to as the Person Identity Network (PIN). To date, most of the information concerning the neural systems that mediate the PIN comes from studies with neurological populations. This information suggest that recognition and identification of familiar faces and names appear to have different operating characteristics, and may be subserved by a neural network that is distinct from that evident for general object recognition and identification. This project will apply event-related functional MRI (ER-fMRI) technology to better understand the neural substrates of the PIN. Specifically, we propose a series of fMRI experiments examing the PIN in young healthy adults and in healthy older adults who either possess or do not possess the apolipoprotein E e4 (APOE e4) allele. The results from these studies are expected to provide novel insights into several critical issues that mediate retrieval from the PIN and the neurobiological substrates of memory pathology that may presage abnormal age-related memory functioning.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。识别和识别熟悉的人的过程代表了日常社会交往的基本活动。目前的观点认为，一系列不同的和互动的认知操作的基础上，这一过程，我们称之为个人身份网络（PIN）。迄今为止，大多数关于介导PIN的神经系统的信息来自神经系统人群的研究。这些信息表明，熟悉的面孔和名字的识别和识别似乎具有不同的操作特征，并且可以通过与一般对象识别和识别明显不同的神经网络来实现。本计画将应用事件相关功能性磁振造影（ER-fMRI）技术，以更好地了解PIN的神经基质。具体来说，我们提出了一系列的功能磁共振成像实验检查PIN在年轻健康的成年人和健康的老年人谁拥有或不拥有载脂蛋白E e4（APOE e4）等位基因。从这些研究的结果预计将提供新的见解几个关键问题，介导检索从PIN和记忆病理的神经生物学基板，可能预示着异常的年龄相关的记忆功能。
